This has got to be the dumbest idea ever!...can you say: Carrington Event?..with our shields down 25% Captain, said Scotty...we are vulnerable to another event like that; not to mention a certain uoon from Nk or an idiot that "neverdidajob" in never never [I]ran, an EMP event at this time would shut down the world grid for years.

Whatcha gona do when the lights go out... bunkie?

Many Gulchers like the digital idea...I on the other hand, observe that just maybe this is not the time to do such a thing in total. Not until we have some technological guarantees that the grid and digital infrastructures are properly fortified.

    I have to laugh...they put in a chip on the card to make the transaction safer and quicker and just the opposite happened...it's still quicker to swipe and even quicker to pay cash.

    No, I suck too much to try that because I already deleted my messages pertaining to that and I can't remember any of the titles, so I will drink instead of look.

    Hmmm, never tried that here at the gulch...you might just post the link here in response to this post, or just post the title of that post.

    The Kakistocracy is disturbing but it helps to have a word for it and it's become my favorite word; finding truths and new exciting questions help too.
    Just think...all the worlds perversions, criminality, and it's ills...in one felt swoop, one concept all taking up less mental ram with the rest of one's mental resources on those exciting questions.

    I say this, abet, baring the cross of awakening humanity, in my own small way, all because it is true, with or without our language being confounded...Nothing be impossible unto us.

    I want people that buy Mentos in airports with a card to have a pulmonary embolism.

    I wish I could have fun with it, but after what I have seen it is so enraging to me that I have to have 12 shots and sit here and write you today. My fun has been ruined, but that is my fault because I am supposed to control my emotions. I want to tag you on some other posts I just made, but I don't know how and I'm too old and intoxicated to figure it out.

    But like the mighty US Note, once abused and adulterated, it can make one violently ill, suffering paranoid delusions, Depressions (occasionally Great), and eventual systems collapse...

    Now we understand the Kakistocracy: governance by the worst [and] least qualified in society.

    (I replaced the or with [and], in the definition...it just speaks more observational truth).

    Got it...it would make a good investment today.

    Invest in the green and make more green!
    Or as an Objectivist would say...G=G..?

    Turns out, in it's non modified form, it's great medicine...kinda like our "greenbacks" used to be before It was modified.

    lol, like you said, she has been out of the news for a while so I'm not sure about her collusion's with Russia. Maybe she should be appointed to a position by Trump and then there are sure to be collusions.

    That's what they used to say in the 60's anyway...somehow, I don't think they were talking about money though...

    Yep!...and the "materialist" say there is not such a thing as the sub- conscious that records everything and can take over our daily tasks when needed.

    The have not a mind, nor conscience...that's why they don't know.

    I love metaphors cause "Consciousness soars on the wings of metaphors©". and when they rhyme it's even better.

    Doesn't need the cash but might provide a service that usually does...saw her viral video on facebook many a year ago...come to think of it, she's been out of the news cycle for a long time now.

    No collusion's with Russia I bet...
